Starting this Sunday, Sept. 16, Walgreens is launching a customer loyalty card program called Balance Rewards.

Points will be rewarded for purchases made in store or online and customers will be able to redeem those points like cash on future purchases.

Point values will be assigned to grocery and drugstore items in the weekly Walgreens circular. 

Customers will also earn points for prescriptions, immunizations and enrollment in the "Walk with Walgreens" program that encourages fitness. AARP members are eligible for additional points.

Will the new program be a good thing for couponers?

As Father's Day approaches, many of this week's sales are focusing on products that make good gifts for dads. There are deals on gift cards (save up to 20 percent), men's shaving products and men's fragrances.

There are also great deals this week on Pepsi 12 packs, Heinz Ketchup, Lean Cuisine entrees and diapers and baby wipes.

But my favorite deal of the week has to be Kroger's sale on milk: just $2.69 per gallon.

Read on for all the very best deals at CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens and Kroger.

With an infusion of new coupons in Sunday's newspaper, the deals are starting to crank back up this week. I especially like the FREE Nivea lip balm and Skinny Cow candy at CVS, the FREE Triaminic at Walgreens and the 8-cent Softsoap at Kroger. Best of all, however, is the milk for $2.79 a gallon at Walgreens, which doesn't require any coupon at all.
